Integrating your XPS Ship account with Ecwid allows your customers’ orders to be directly transferred from Ecwid to your profile, providing quick and easy shipping. Orders will be marked as “Shipped” on Ecwid and will send a tracking number once the shipping label has been generated. The steps below will guide you through the process of integrating your XPS Ship account with Ecwid.
You MUST have an Ecwid ‘Venture’ plan or higher in order to have App access for your store.
Obtain the Starter Site ID from Ecwid
Log in to the administrative side of your Ecwid account. If you are not logged in, this integration will not work as the integration is based on the Ecwid session that you currently have open.
Click Settings from the top menu.
Click the Starter Site tab and copy the URL for your Starter Site ID, as you will need it to paste into your Ecwid Integration settings in XPS later.
**If you have trouble locating the settings for the Starter Site, click this link, or copy and paste it into your browser. https://my.ecwid.com/#starter-site
